Hi Alaina: Copper sinks do have a living patina, which is what makes them so unique. We try to make it clear on our website that copper will change with time and use, and you can let it age naturally or polish it to shine. Daily maintenance like rinsing your sink and avoiding letting highly acidic foods sit on the surface should be all you need. If you're still unhappy with your purchase, please contact customersupport@sinkology.com to discuss your options! All of our products come with a lifetime warranty. thompson-traders

    This sink is absolutely stunning! It adds elegance (which providing the masculinity my husband wanted). The sink is large enough to wash dishes/glasses, and we love how deep it is. I highly recommend it!

        Beautiful and best sink I have ever had. Love the appearance and size. If you are looking for a single sink this is the one. Also nice for small kitchens. I am in awe at my sink and the appearance it gives to my kitchen.

        LOVE!!
        This sink is the perfect addition to my new kitchen! it matches the copper flecks in the granite and really makes it all pop! This is the best value I have found for a copper sink, too, by about $200. The beat finish is amazing and I've found that I don't mind the different colors it changes when exposed to different elements (soap, food, etc) it adds to the character I think! My husband and I have done most for the renovation ourselves and installation was easy.

        An acquired taste!
        Our new construction kitchen needed some character, so I decided a copper sink would be a great start. When I opened this sink and saw the colors and texture, I loved it! However after doing some research on copper and maintenance, at first I approached this sink like a china doll once installed. But over time, I didn't worry about what we put in it, and its still beautiful! Food stains (ketchup) slowly fade away after a few days, and the overall color is constantly changing (I'd recommend not leaving dishes in it over time---the rings don't look as natural as they fade). It's a really pretty sink and gets a lot of attention. One side has hot, soapy water in it 12+ hours a day which is why the sinks have different colors. It's not for everyone, and you can't achieve the "new, shiny, unused sink" feel that some people prefer but we love it!

        Well done
        I ordered this sinkology sink to replace an old worn out porcelain coated type to this solid copper beauty. I'v had it in use for several months. Treating it and caring for it I use it for both cleaning and soaking dishes. But it was some DIY work work to get it set into place. The copper hammered work makes it look good reptile looking theme This sink was a well worth addition to my DIY kitchen. A taste of luxury in modest environment

        Elegant hammered copper sink
        I had the opportunity to evaluate this copper sink. As seen in the photos this was very well packed and arrived in pristine condition. The sink is absolutely beautiful aesthetically with its hand hammer finish and quality finishing. The drain hole is perfect and fits standard drains. I have in the past had handmade sinks that would not seal the drain but this was perfect. Although listed as a undermount the edges were finished so well I used it as a topmount. You still need to be aware that copper is soft and can damage easily. I used it as a bar sink. No hardware or template came with this sink. This was a sample. I'm sure retail units have at least a use and care sheet.

        This is the second time I have ordered this particular sink and it is the second time I have had an issue. The first time somehow you sent it to another store in a different state. I had to cancel the order and reorder it. The second sink arrived and it was damaged. I am taking the sink back and reordering it again. Let’s hope the next one arrives at the right store and undamaged.

        It looks good so far. Not installed yet. Even though it was packed well, it came with a dent in the bottom corner.

          "Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their reply is,Dear Customer, I am sorry your Sinkology purchase did not go as planned and we thank you for your review. Sinkology Aged Copper finish does indeed tend to be on the darker side, much like a dark chocolate color. Once the sink is properly installed, it is extremely durable, and as with all Sinkology products, it is protected by our Lifetime Warranty. "

            This sink is beautiful and huge! It looks great with our new granite counters, which are the gray/white color family. It comes with a very informative set of booklets about how to care for the sink and the ever changing patina/ color of the copper. We paired the sink with Fontaine by Italia Bellver Single-Handle Traditional Kitchen Faucet in Antique Copper, which looks great. We mounted our garbage disposal with the Sinkology Antique Copper drain flange. We were nervous ordering that flange because it said on the specs that it only worked with SinkErator disposals, but it was standard size and mounted our Ace brand disposal just fine. The entire combo is just beautiful, I would definitely recommend.

            I cannot tell you enough not to buy this sink
            I bought two of these sinks for my kitchen. The reason these copper sinks are so affordable compared to other copper sinks is they're EXTREMELY CHEAP. The gauge of the copper is so light, you can literally bend the sides of the sink with your hand. Water hitting it has a different sound than your normal stainless kitchen sink. In addition, the copper is not laquered. So it takes stains IMMEDIATELY and you cannot clean them. If you put a wet bowl in the sink while prepping dinner and get to it while you're doing the dishes it will leave a significant mark on the sink you cannot get off and Sinkology will tell you on their support line will take weeks to come back. Any food particle will do the same. I'm not talking about leaving items in your sink overnight - I'm talking about the time it takes to prep, cook and clean a dinner. Additionally, the images are indicative of the color of the sinks. I purchased two different sinks (Orwell and Sisley) which appear to be the same color in the images. However, they are VERY different in tone with one being dark and petinaed and the other being very bright. I called Sinkology about this and thy confirmed that they are indeed very different colors. If you want a copper sink, this is a cheap knock off which will look bad. I'd recommend either a higher quality, higher gauge laquered copper sink or stainless over this sink.

            "Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is,thank you for your feedback. Our sinks are made with pure, solid copper, and they are hand-hammered, which can compact the metal, making it feel thinner than other sinks. Our copper sinks come with a finish, but copper has a living, natural patina that will change over time. We have many resources available on www.Sinkology.com to help you care for your copper sink."
